I love this game so much, it's such a pity that it makes me motion sick, so I can only play it about 5 minutes at a time and then I have to lay down for about half an hour recovering, lol! THAT'S how much I love this game!!!

I made these both over a period of 3 days, on and off. I actually created an inner cardboard box to overlay the template onto, just for durability, because they are quite large - standing at about 14cm tall.

Admittedly, these are rush jobs - I could have spent much longer on them - so the finish is not as neat as I would normally build.

The Weighted Companion Cube (WCC) template has been around for a while, in fact, I custom made a lidded container out of this template [link] over a year ago, but it got euthanized accidentally.

The Weighted Storage Cube (WSC) I created myself, by Photoshoping the original WCC template, because strangely enough, I couldn't find a decent version of a WSC out in the WWW at all.

If you've ever played the game, you'd know that you don't actually meet the WCC until close to the end of the game. So, rationally speaking, it very strange that so many people are so attached to the WCC and not the trusty WSC.

But then, if you've never played the game, you just wouldn't understand.

You can get the templates for both here:Weighted Companion Cube: [link]Weighted Storage Cube: [link]

*EDIT*Oh, I meant to say that I get a lot of questions about the little pink/blue strips re: how to attach them. This really is the eternal question, because for the life of me, I cannot figure out how the original designer intended them to be attached, even now!

The way I overcame this issue is sort of a cheat: I cut the tabs and the top/bottoms off and glued them ONTO the face, over the four joins. It's not perfect or ideal, but it works.

That issue about the pink and blue lines are resolved in my YouTube tutorial... check it out and please tell me what you think. Though my finished product there was not as clean. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlK7vZ…

Perhaps, I haven't thought about it because there are a bunch of Portal 2 papercraft cubes already out there (goggle is your friend) but I don't think that they are quite this big. If you don't find anything to your liking, come back here and tell me and I'll see what I can do to adjust this template.

The template never came with instructions, but it's pretty simple:- build a 12cm cube (for structure)- put the 4 base pieces of a single face together and attach to cube, then repeat 5x- figure out what to do with the pink strips and attach them - I never did know!- construct the button section then attach to the face- construct the edge sections and attach them cube- construct the corner pieces and attach- sit back and bask in your genius!I hope that helps. The only other piece of advice I can offer is to use good tacky craft glue and good paper (minimum 120gsm). Have fun!

Just curious since you used a cardboard box for the template/support, did you just use regular printer paper or did you use cardstock (around 110-120lb)? I'm kinda newb to papercrafts but I'm pretty boss at 3d puzzles so I figure I'll do a decent job on this stuff. I need a little practice working with cardstock so I figured I'd tinker with this before I move on to Shockwave

I still printed on decent 120gsm paper, partly out of habit, but also because you don't get that any warping when you apply glue to a large surface area as you do with regular printer stock (80gsm). Protip: With the cardboard box inner structure, you have to take into account the width of the cardboard and subtract the appropriate amount from the edge of the faces, even if you choose to do a bevelled edge - which is what I did - otherwise your cube will be too big for the template. I think I used what the craft store calls Boxcard (even thought I have never seen a box made from this stuff) - it is a dense grey material, and I couldn't tell you what the gsm is.Remember, use the best glue you can find - I hear Aleene's Tacky is good and can be found in many stores globally.

OMFG, they look perfect!!!! Exactly like in the game!!! would have a pile of these ^_^ dw-ing the link nowAlso I play hours straight this, I never get motion sickness (even in rl life) and am soo excited for the 2! Still it looks like it'll give us a mindfuck, have you guys seen the last section of the demo video? when all the stuff get mixed? O_O
